"To any monarch, king, sultan, pope, despot, or emperor, you are no more than a means to an end, a means to acquire riches, a means to acquire power, but we are an end to our own selves and only our own selves. We that stand are abject dogs and bastards. We are killers and malefactors. We are thieves and scum, and we are brothers and sisters. So if they wish to make us their means, let them come and meet their end!"Blackbeard - Crossbones

-I can tell life from TV, Jeff. TV makes sense. It has logic, structure, rules and likable leading men #sixseasonsANDAMOVIEMore importantly, it has to be joyful, effortless, fun.TV defeats it’s own purpose when it’s pushing an agenda, or trying to defeat other TV or being proud or ashamed of itself for existing.It’s TV, it’s comfort. It's a friend you've known so well, and for so long you just let it be with you and it needs to be okay for it to have a bad day or phone in a day. And it needs to be okay for it to get on a boat with Levar Burton and never come back.
